And we're supposed to believe she's not taking money for sex?

Brilliant.

Atlanta News Station Shining a Light on the Situation

I've received a couple of very encouraging notes from an Atlanta anchorwoman expressing an interest in shining a light on the situation. It's important for people to be aware of the fact that there are people responsible for ensuring that their companies do not enable illegal activity on the Internet.

Google *could* block her site from the rankings, knows about the site, and does nothing.

Network Solutions *could* enforce Federal Intellectual Property laws and revoke the domain name, but they have not.

Both Google and Network Solutions are fully aware of the situation, that this woman is running a prostitution business that their companies enable, and they have knowingly turned a blind eye.

Network Solutions conveyed via phone that although they believed it is evident that the woman is selling sex for money, they would not revoke the domain because of the disclaimer on her front page. It states:

"...I am not a law enforcement agent and I desire to receive this material and haven't notified any governmental agency or other to intercept sexually explicit material. I will not redistribute the contents of this site in any way, shape, or form. If I redistribute any contents of this site, I will be solely responsible for my actions. I agree that by doing so, I am breaking copyright laws. If I do not respect and abide by these laws I will fully compensate the owner of this site for his/her attorney's fees and any other fees which may incur during this time period. I understand that this is not an offer for prostitution. Money exchanged is for time and companionship only..."


Breaking copyright laws. (shaking head)

And my response to Google

Hi Keli,

It's a prostitution site. That's illegal. -Except in Nevada. :) If there are any doubts about the legality of the business her site is promoting, I will happily provide copies of the email I received offering marijuana in exchange for oral sex.

Plus she is not operating under her real name. I believe in my previous research I found out it was Nancy or something like that. It's certainly not my name that she was given at birth. I'm a published photographer with a long documented history of commerce under this name. She's using it to promote an illegal prostitution business. I'm not OK with that.

Please don't take my written tone as snarky, because I sincerely don't mean to sound that way. But if you truly need me to dig up the statute that outlines the illegal nature of prostitution, I can do that. I just figured it was common enough knowledge. :)

Thank you for your assistance!

-Alana

Response from Google

Hi Alana,

Thank you for writing. We strive to make sure that each of our domains complies with the laws of the country in which it is registered. We are unfamiliar with the law that you mention and would appreciate it if you could provide us with a copy of the law that you believe is at issue (a copy of the statute, code, etc.). If possible, please also help us understand how you believe we are violating the law. This will help us
evaluate the matter further.

Additionally, please provide us with contact information (webmaster or domain registrant name and email address) for the offending website or webpage. If we are able to process your removal request, we will need to attempt to contact the offending website.

Please note that a copy of each legal notice we receive is sent to a third-party partner for publication and annotation. As such, your letter (with your personal information removed) will be forwarded to Chilling Effects (http://www.chillingeffects.org) for publication. You can see an example of such a publication at http://www.chillingeffects.org/dmca512/notice.cgi?NoticeID=861. A link to your published letter will be displayed in Google's search results in place of the removed content.

Regards,
Keli

Thank you for your request. We’ll be in contact with you shortly only if your
request pertains to removing one of the following from our search results:

- your credit card or bank account number
- your social security or similar government ID number
- an image of your signature
- your full name or the name of your business appearing on an adult content site
that's spamming Google's search results

If your removal request does not match any of these categories, please return to the
webpage removal request tool at http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/removals and
